Been a long week... its only Wednesday!

So What have I been up to? Lets see:

- Well the Y2K7 has come and gone. The IT Community has named the Daylight Savings Time change the "Y2k7 bug". Basically Pres. Bush changed the start and end time of the Daylight Savings time. However only XP and Vista were programmed to adjust to the new time change. Microsoft (in it's infinate wisdom) provide a manual patch for Win2k. and no patch to Win98. In addition to update Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, you had to semi-manually update every mailbox. It was a pain in the butt. The instructions weren't clear. They gave an automatic way and a manual way, and put the manual way first. Then you have to give 1 user account access to every e-mail box. And then finally update the mailboxes. I was told "just change the computer clock". Sure except Exchange/Outlook can't figure out what happened to the missing hour. Therefore everything would have been wrong... Hopefully it's over. only a few stragglers left behind.

- Also i've been fighting our Exchange server still. I even re-installed it. No prevail. We purchased a new server, but it hasn't come in yet.

- We're going Snowboarding next week. I'm excited. but there's so much going on.

- I moved my webhost. kinda. Infoquest offers a new service, new rates, better features. So I moved it. But it was a pain in the ass. The CS told me "you change the name servers" so I did. Didn't work. I went back to them and they said "we could have done it for you" "?? your CS told me to do it" Thanks alot. If the service is good I'll stick with it. If not, I'm gonna tell Infoquest to kiss it at the end of my term.

Thats all for now.
